Of come on Lfromnj. I could just as reasonably argue that this safe 7-1 map with 3 AA districts is clean and represents COIs. No fair map of Maryland has more than 1 safe GOP district and 1 swing district.



How many incumbents does the leave outside their districts? That is a very nice-looking map.

I do wonder if the various asks from the congressmembers are going to be as difficult to satisfy this time round.

Hoyer is likely to be out of Congress within 5 years and as everybody knows this, not many black politicians are going to want to challenge him in a primary and burn any establishment support for the next decade.

If Sarbanes is ever going to go statewide, he needs to do it soon or he'll be yesterday's news (arguably, he already is.) If he no longer has statewide ambitions, he's not going to care about having a foothold in multiple media markets.

And Brown has much less to fear from a primary challenge than Edwards did.
